Beautiful photos by Ward Roberts depicting various courts integrated into the urban landscape in near chameleon ways.
When living in Hong Kong I remember being amazed at how much area was offered up for court/pitch activities, given how short they are on space. Many of these are most likely far above street level, and while not necessarily “green areas,” they give back crucial space that was taken by construction.
Le Corbusier would be proud.

I wish I could actually see more of the courts and their intigration. These pictures have too small of a degree of view in my opinion.
@SWADE – check out his site, some of the other images in the series are a little wider.
